Primary tabs

Fimbristylis aestivalis var. macrostachya

Description

Stronger in almost every part. Leaves 1-1½ mm wide. Stamens 2.

Distribution

Asia-Tropical: Philippines (Philippines present), Australasia: Queensland (Queensland present), Leyte present
Queensland; in Malesia: Philippines (Leyte), JAGOR 1008, according to CLARKE, l.c., not seen.

Notes

CLARKE, l.c., thinks that this variety tends to F. bisumbellata, but this is certainly not the case. From the characters given above I get the impression that it is a polyploid derived from F. aestivalis var. aestivalis.
